“Three days,” I say. I grab a slice of pizza from the box on the coffee table, then glance at David and his blood-spattered paper towel. It’s gotten to the point that David barely winces when he draws the blade across his skin.

Tonight’s distraction, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, mutters in the background.

Julie lives in a small town in New England with her family and a menagerie of variously sized animals. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Southern Maine’s Stonecoast program and a M.S. in Microbiology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Some of Julie’s favorite things include nighttime glasses of ginger libation, rewatching the reboot of Ghostbusters, and baths, oh-so-many baths.
